About this role

About Us InStride Health’s mission is to deliver specialty anxiety and OCD care that works for every kid, teen, young adult, and family who needs it. Through this mission, we are expanding access to insurance-based care, increasing engagement in treatment, and improving treatment outcomes. We are doing this by combining research-backed clinical care and innovative technology to eliminate the major problems with care today: difficulty finding providers, months of waiting to be seen, arduous onboarding processes, and inconsistent use of evidence-based therapies and outcomes tracking.

Our vision is to become the nation’s most trusted provider of pediatric anxiety and OCD care. Team InStride Health: Our Core Values Give Heart : We lead with heart, treating patients and their families the way we want our loved ones to be treated. Work Smart : We find smarter ways to solve hard problems and fix the broken mental health system by leveraging technology, diversity of thought, and innovation. Have Humility : We leave our egos at the door, empowering our team to collaborate, celebrate diversity, and adopt a growth mindset.

Embrace Community: We all belong. We are in this together, and we never worry alone. We believe in each other and recognize that every voice matters. About the Role As a Patient and Family Advisor at InStride Health, you will be the first point of contact for prospective families, guiding them through the process of accessing life-changing care. Working as a vital part of a small, close-knit team, you will have significant opportunities to contribute to our growth and support one another.

You will champion the program by building relationships, educating families about our services, helping them navigate the complexities of insurance, and providing concierge-level support from pre-application through onboarding. With a strong focus on patient advocacy, you’ll help individuals who have faced challenges navigating the healthcare system, ensuring they receive the support they need. If you are a warm, empathetic person who is passionate about mental health care and energized by providing exceptional service, this is the perfect role for you.
